“…However, the majority of authors, e.g., [ 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ], studied this phenomenon as only welding problems or metal forming problems, thus separately and not as two consecutive steps. Some authors [ 46 , 47 , 48 ] dealt with the determination of residual stress in formed members and predicted results were compared with the experiments (sectioning, hole drilling method and X-ray diffraction). On the other hand, Lee et al [ 49 ] identified manufacturing variables (and the determination of residual stresses was one of them) that are closely related to the surface defects in the exterior panels of large commercial vehicles.…”
